Inc. Waffles is
owned by Chef Daniel Godinez, of Anepalco’s fame, and serves meals in a waffle
taco.

Waffles Taco ($8.99)
with fish, cabbage, corn, avocado, and chile aioli. It is
beautifully presented with purple cabbage, yellow corn, red tomato pico de
gallo, and green guacamole. The vegetable flavors work really well together,
but it over shadowed the flavor of the fish. The fish on its own is succulent
and very flavorful. Rating: 3/5

Dos Chinosis owned by Hop Phan and Viet Tran. Chef
Hop and Dos Chinos have been featured on Food Network’s Cutthroat
Kitchen Season 6 “S'Mortal Combat” episode and
Cooking Channel’s Eat St “Lip Smackin’ Delights” episode. All
the great food that you can find on the truck is now available at their 4th
Street Market location.

The Stoner is
served three ways. The Stoner Papas ($13.50) is French fries topped
with cotija cheese, chorizo fried rice, Dos Chinos’ Asada, Bolsa Pork Belly,
onion, cilantro, crema, and fried egg. The pork belly is tender and
flavorful with Chinese Five Spice. The fries are crispy and are the perfect
element to make as a base for this dish. The chorizo fried rice adds the spicy
Mexican influence. The egg just makes it all good – break that yolk and let the
feeding frenzy begin. Rating: 5/5 The Stoner Bowl ($12) is chimichurri rice &
chorizo fried rice with Dos Chinos Asada, Bolsa Pork Belly, cotija cheese,
onion, cilantro, verde, and fried egg. It’s like the Asian-Mexican
version of a Loco Moco. You can also have it as a burrito ($12) too.

Dulce de Leche
Walnut Shrimp is masa crusted
fried shrimp, cabbage, dulce de leche, and chili-lime walnuts. This walks the
border of savory and sweet. The shrimp is fried to perfection with crispy exterior
and tasty shrimp inside. The dulce de leche sauce takes this taco to a whole
other dimension with its creamy texture and sweet caramel flavor. If you love
Honey Walnut Shrimp in Chinese cooking, you’ll absolutely love this! Rating: 4.5/5

Bolsa Pork Belly
Taco is 5 spiced pork belly, pickled daikon & carrots, cabbage, and verde. This is a banh
mi in taco form. From the tender pork belly to the pickled vegetables, it just
screams Vietnam. In taco form, you are able to enjoy the flavors without so
much bread. Rating: 4.5/5

The Basic is an
olive ciabatta stuffed with heirloom tomato, sundried tomato aioli, burrata,
and lemon vinaigrette arugula (with fried egg and smoked pork belly, $12.50). This sandwich is
HUGE! The smoked pork belly is almost an inch thick and is absolutely
scrumptious with melt-in-your-mouth texture and smoky flavor. The fried eggs
add a richness once the yolk breaks. Yes, it’s messy; but who cares. All that
matters is that it tastes great. The tomatoes are also thick cut and sweet. The
arugula tossed in lemon vinaigrette gives it a refreshing flavor with slight
bitterness and acidity that balances nicely with the fatty pork and rich egg
yolk. The ciabatta is also the perfect bread choice with its crunchy exterior
and spongy, chewy interior. Rating: 4.5/5

Chunk-N-Chipis one of my
favorites of the food truck world. In 2011, I had the pleasure of meeting
owner, Claudia Gonzalez, at the OC Foodie Fest, and have been following
Chunk-N-Chip ever since. Here are some cookie combinations to try:

Red Velvet cookies
with Mocha Espresso ice cream – The Red Velvet
cookies have a beautiful bright red color with all of the red velvet cake flavor.
The Mocha Espresso ice cream has a good balance of chocolate and espresso
flavor. Rating: 5/5

White Chocolate
with Macadamia Nut & Pineapple cookie with Pina Colada ice cream – The White
Chocolate with Macadamia Nut & Pineapple cookie is just the beginning of
your tropical trip. The white chocolate works well with the buttery macadamia
nuts and sweet pineapple. Pina Colada ice cream has a great balance of coconut
and pineapple flavors to round out your tropical adventure. Rating: 5/5

Hazelnut +
Oatmeal cookie with Fresh Mint with Dark Chocolate Shavings ice cream – The Hazelnut +
Oatmeal cookie reminds me of grandma. The hazelnuts give the cookies a roasted
nut flavor. The Fresh Mint with Dark Chocolate Shavings ice cream is fantastic!
Unlike mint chip that you see in the store or at some chain ice cream shops,
Chunk-N-Chip uses fresh mint which makes it even better. The fresh mint has a
refreshing greenness to it. Rating: 5/5

Breakfast, lunch,
or dinner, the choice is very clear. Make 4th Street Market your
next stop with your family and friends!
